Brånd - 'Tåg & Nåcht'
The time has come so happy release day to the almighty Brånd for their debut album Tåg & Nåcht is finally here.
The upper Austrian weird/post black metal act led by Vritra (also in Kringa and Weathered Crest) has come a long way since the early days of crude black metal-punk, walking alongside extreme underground torchbearers like Absolute Key, Calvary and Rosa Nebel.
Joined by musicians to evolve old and new ideas, their first official full-length grew from 4-track demos gathered over the last decade to become an album of richly arranged songs from all over the fields of interest, breaking from their lo-fi tradition to new horizons that span from 70’s space rock, passing through 80's post-punk and UK82, reaching 90's black metal and 2000's blackgaze, all while remaining incredibly coherent. Name dropping would be insane - Isengard, Circle of Ouroborus, Poison Ruin, Teenage Panzerkorps, EA80, Wire, Death In June, Neu!, Wipers - so just go ahead and press Play. Satisfaction Guaranteed.
